Today there was a special election in California for several budget proposals. Noah once again showed his pride in our freedom to vote by helping me at the voting booth. Here you will see us making our selections and then Noah wearing his "I Voted" sticker after we were done.
Got a good look, this is the lasy great gummy smile I captured on film before Noah started teething. :) On April 30, while my mom was visiting, we noticed the first true sign of Noah's first tooth, a little pit on the bottom center right gum. 
Since then the tooth has slowly but surely grown more and more. Now Noah has a very sharp little tooth and he knows how to use it! I'm discovering all kinds of toys which were once so fun for him are now off limits as his tooth detroys them.
Speaking of destruction, check out the mess Noah made of this teething biscuit today! I think it kept him occupied for 30 minutes, but by the end, he had biscuit everywhere! It was all over the high chair, the bib, his hands, face, and even in his hair. By the time I cleaned it all up, including Noah, I was covered in biscuit too! :) It's good for his tooth though, gives him a workout and makes me laugh at the same time.
On Thursday Noah and I had the opportunity to visit Carrie and her boys for the afternoon. We had a wonderful time playing, chatting, and eating Thai food. Here you can see Noah and Jude having some excellent bonding time. It is so fun to spend time with Lucas, Isaac, and Jude. Noah learns from them and has such a good time playing with the "big boys." :)
My first Mother's Day was made so special by Noah and Tim. Not only did they give me hilarious cards in the morning, I was thoroughly surprised in the afternoon by their wonderful thoughtfulness. While I took a nap, Tim and Noah purchased and planted calla liles in our backyard for me. Callas are my favorite and they are beautiful!
Good Morning! Noah just slept from 7:40pm last night until 6:15am this morning. A new record! We might have a little boy on our hands who can sleep through the night! Hooray! Of course, just by posting this entry I may have jinxed myself. ;)
Swimming...
And eating ice cream. :) All in all not a bad day at all!
While my mom was here we undertook several large projects. One of the most fun was decorating Noah's bedroom. Here are the pictures of his room completely decorated and gorgeous. We love it!
